Johannes op Patmos en het nieuwe Jeruzalem 1582 - 1613

This engraving by Pieter van der Borcht depicts the biblical scene of John of Patmos’s vision of the New Jerusalem from the Book of Revelation. The image portrays God seated on a throne in the heavens, with the newly formed city sprawled out below, surrounded by a wall and filled with houses. The work is notable for its fine detail and use of perspective, creating an immersive experience for the viewer. This print was likely part of a series depicting scenes from Revelation, and its intricate detail would have been appreciated by those interested in religious art.
